Iím stuck in the same situation as well! If Accenture rejects me, they will send a rejection letter right? CAn someone advise on the possible waiting time after the closing interview? Why is it that some people receive the offer after 2 days, some needa wait for 2 months?

Depends on there's available project to stuff you in , that's why. But judging by the turnover rate , i think they just take anyone lol.

Care to share why the turnover rate is so high? Is it because of the long working hours?

Low working hours and the effort you put in might not equal to the reward you get in the end.

Lots of office politics aka those who talk more work less always reap the bigger bonuses/promotion.

Even though it has a good brand name but remember its good brand name arises mainly for management consulting not technology consulting.

The quality of the systems accenture developed are quite bad since they outsource as much technical as they can. Hence not recommended for people looking for technical career but more for people looking for career that is related to consulting/project management aka all the talking and presentation to client/mgmt.

accenture is known for its tech consulting, not management consulting. management consulting is just there for purposes of driving projects to its technology arm to be delivered. the quality of systems and apps that are delivered are of varying quality and mainly depends on the scope of work needed. accenture's systems and apps are actually driving alot of aspects of Singapore's e-services.

peoplw who talk more and work less are actually not going to perform as well as those who talk more and work more. you have to be able to showcase your technical achivements if not who knows? same as if you work in other companies. if you want to join any company with the loser mentality of: if i do work well then i can get promote liao, i suggest you go bedok reservoir find job in the waters.

i have friends who come from spending many years in NCS (above 5 yrs) and after spending 2yrs + in ACCENTURE, they told me life is better here. at NCS they are worked to the death as their project quote were always quoted lowest in order to seize the project. thus they do not have the $$ to afford a gigantic workforce, and hence projects were always delivered with a small team being slave driven to ridiculous amount of OT.

several reasons which you would find similar in any of the professional services firms out there:
lots of OT but depends on which project you are at
slow career progression for technology delivery personnel
lower pay for technology delivery personnel
unreasonable clients but depends on which project you are at
